edited September 2024 in Success Stories
Last summer I was tired of my body, I decided to take pictures, get a personal trainer and change things around. Needless to say I didn't stick with that thought of mind for too long and the personal trainer got to be too expensive. Then in March 2011 I got engaged and was determined to lose the weight. Well I finally cracked down in May and began c25k. I was nervous at first because I have NEVER been a runner and I have physically induced asthma. But I have stuck with the program and I am now on week 7- running for 25 minutes straight and have not used my inhaler once!! I still cannot believe I can say I am able to run for 25 minutes! I am posting the pictures from July 2010, June 1 of this year and today July 1. I can finally see how dramatic results can be in a month with portioning meals and sticking to exercising (in my case c25k). I am posting these pictures to continue my motivation and help anyone who needs some encouragment. I'm getting married on 9-10-11 and still have a little ways to go to get to my goal!!

July 2010 around 183 lbs

    OH WOW....look at your cute little waist! Good job. I've always wanted to try C25k but afraid to do it. I'm not a runner either but I love to walk.

    Keep up the good work.:smile:

    You look fantastic!!! Are you only doing C25k three times a week and watching your portions, or are you adding other workouts in too? I started C25k a month ago also, but on week 5, and have been running 4-5 days per week (starting week 8 tomorrow). I'm not really seeing much difference on the scale or in inches. I don't eat a heck of a whole lot either, but can't count calories because it makes me crazy! Any pointers?
